remove
Disconnect installed plugins while retaining database schemas and data
Inspect a removal plan before removing a plugin:
bunx chat-js@alpha remove projects --dry-runThe command reports the plugin’s activation, removable source, retained schemas, and modified or untracked files. Resolve application imports that depend on the plugin before removal.
bunx chat-js@alpha remove projects --backup--backup preserves removed source, including customizations, under chatjs/removed-plugins. Without that explicit choice, modified source blocks removal. --yes skips confirmation but does not authorize removing modified source.

Retained data
Removal disconnects registrations and removes owned source. It retains database data, schema inputs, shared UI, and package dependencies. No database migration is applied. Review retained schemas and generate a migration separately if you intend to change stored data.
This command removes plugins. It is not a general tool or provider uninstaller. See status to inspect installation ownership and Using Plugins for migration behavior.
